From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a new story in her Eagle Elite series…

Every family has rules, the mafia just has more....
Do not speak to the bosses unless spoken to.
Do not make eye contact unless you want to die.
And above all else, do not fall in love.
Renee Cassani's future is set.
Her betrothal is set.
Her life, after nannying for the five families for the summer, is set
Somebody should have told Vic Colezan that.
He's a man who doesn't take no for an answer.
And he only wants one thing.
Her.
Somebody should have told Renee that her bodyguard needed as much discipline as the kids she was nannying.
Good thing Vic has a firm hand.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

I love the Eagle Elite stories and this one is a great one to get your first bite of how Rachel writes, but also a great story! An epic love story in a truly Italian Mafia Family. Why, because it’s forbidden! Vic is the enforcer for the family and is responsible for looking after Renee, the kids nanny, but also ensured with keeping her safe. However, they haven’t told her everything either about why she’s there and while she waits, her and Vic grow closer and ultimately more intimate with each other:)

Wonderful story and I can’t wait for more stories in this epic mafia saga!

Rachel never fails to keep the reader entrapped by the pages as they fastly progress through the story. I have read every book in the elite series. Can’t get enough. So addictive. So much love amongst the blood. Renee and Viv. A love worthy.

I am a fan of these 1001 short stories - it gives us a glimpse into where some favourite characters are now, or gives us a story of characters that were only minor players in other books.

If you have read Rachel Van Dyken's Eagle Elite series (and if you haven't, you should!) you have met our main man Vic.

We know what Vic is capable of from previous stories, however we don't know Vic. He plays by the rules, no matter what it costs him.

Renee is sweet and adorable, however we soon come to learn who and what she is and how strong she can be.

My heart hurts for Vic as he sets about doing his "duty". I love the guys of Eagle Elite, but boy I really do kind of hate them in this at the same time. Expecially that Dick-son - oops, I meen Nixon.

I love the Vic and Renee go for what they want. And oh my do they steam up my kindle!

I love getting to see a little of all the family and the "families" in Envy. I have been invested in their lives for a lot of years now, and I always want to know more. And my Chase plays quite an important part in Envy woohoo!

This was a great little read, just enough to tide me over until we get more full length EE.

I can't wait to see what Ms Van Dyken brings me next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love These Guys

The Eagle Elite family are back they may all be that little bit older but they've lost none of their fierceness.

In this story we follow Nixon's cousin Vic from previous books we know what he does for the family what he's capable of but we don't know him. Renee is the nanny he can't help but watch even though she's off limits and Renee is just biding her time so she can leave her overprotective family behind.

What I didn't realise that Vic took an oath to remain loyal to the family that means no distractions no love interest in fact he has to be celibate.

This was a totally different take on a forbidden love story. I loved the two main characters the push and pull between them, the red hot chemistry it just worked perfectly. The author always manages to make me fall in love with her guys no matter what kind of monster they are.

I can't wait to get more of the Eagle Elite guys it's a series I never want to end.

It was interesting to get Vic's story, after having him play a role in Eulogy. It's always fun to get a novella about some of the more secondary characters, and keep us involved in the world that a series is set in.

I enjoyed this as I have with all the Eagle Elite mafia books, and I was glad to see these guys get a turn. Renee was a new character and I really liked her. There were some surprises in store for her mind you.

A great little novella, love this EE world.

Wow, that ending! Loved Vic and Renee’s whirlwind story! It had some crazy twists I didn’t see coming! It makes me so happy to see the gang again too, as we keep meeting more characters! I honestly don’t know how Rachel does it, but she manages to keep this story going and add new players and situations with each book, that still hooks us more and more each time! I don’t want this series to end ever! Lol let’s see all the kids as they grow up too! Eagle elite 2.0!! 😂 Absolutely loved the story and can’t wait for the new one!

Envy (Eagle Elite,#9.5) by Rachel Van Dyken is a thrilling mafia read. This 1001 Dark Nights novella gives readers an appetizing taste of all thing mafia in the Eagle Elite Series. This series has completely grown into its own entity with Envy being a good starting point if you are unfamiliar with the books. This can be read as a stand alone. Vic Colezan Abandonato, who we met in Eulogy, is a made man. Cousin to Nixon, head of the Abandonato family. Vic took a blood oath to protect the families at any cost. His job is to watch, and he definitely watches. Her. Renee. The girl hired for the summer as a nanny to the five families. But the families have a secret and Renee's future isn't her own. Now she needs protection and Vic is assigned as her bodyguard. She is a distraction he doesn't need. A temptation. I admit that I loved Vic's character in Eulogy and was thrilled that he got his own story. This novella has quickly become one of my favorites with Enrage topping out the list. I think because Vic and Dante both have that same intensity with the propensity to harbor love deeply. Renee seems to be a mix. Not quite girl-next-door or take-no-prisoners. Just balanced somewhere in between. I like the fact that the author manages to keep the story and dialogue fresh this far into a series. If you have read Enrage or Eulogy, you'll enjoy this mafia romance too.

Ogni romanzo della serie si può leggere da solo, ma consiglio di leggerli in ordine, per capire meglio il background ed il passato dei vari personaggi coinvolti. Vic è il guardiano/difensore eletto dai boss delle cinque famiglie più famose di Cosa Nostra a protezione delle loro mogli e figli. Rennie è una figlia di un loro associato, col ruolo di babysitter dei due bimbi più piccoli. Lei sa cos'è la mafia, ma non vede l'ora di andarsene all'università, lasciandosi alle spalle questa esperienza. Vic la guarda da lontano e la desidera, ma non ha nessuna intenzione di provarci, a causa della parola data ai boss. Arrivano minacce a lei e Vic viene assegnato alla sua sicurezza, e così pian piano la tentazione diventa irresistibile fino a quando uno dei due non cede. Libro narrato tramite i punti di vista dei due protagonisti.
